Like the title says, a top 100 horror sound tracks list would be great. For me, music is a big part of what makes a movie rewatchable. Many times the drama of the music can be superior to the drama of the characters, and sometimes vice versa, but when the two are in sync, that makes movie magic.

I'm not a heavy connoisseur on horror soundtracks but I definitely have some ideas as to what should be on such a list.

Here are some horror movies with great soundtracks. In fact, I would say the music was integral to their success.

-Romero's first three dead movies
-many of Argento's movie, Susperia, Tenebrae, Terror at the Opera, to name a few.
-many of Carpenter's films, Halloween, The Thing, Prince of Darkness, to name a few
- Many of the scores James Benard did for the Hammer movies
- The Exorcist
- many of the classic Universal horror scores
- The first three Alien movies
- Psycho
- Demons
- Nightmare on Elm Street
- Jaws
- Hallraiser 1 and 2
- The Shining
- anthopophagus (when it wasn't using lame library music)

A couple more modern horror movies which I thought had great sound tracks were The Evil Dead Remake and The Conjuring. I also thought Beyond the Black Rainbow had a simple yet mesmeric score. If you consider the Predator movies horror, the first two Predators had great scores. Same goes for the first couple Terminator movies, terrific music.

Please add some more suggestions, I would love to see some discussion on this!
